captioning sponsored by macneil/lehrer productions >> woodruff: president obama hailed another month of job growth, while mitt romney cited an up-tick in the unemployment rate as proof of an economic standstill. good evening. i'm judy woodruff. >> brown: and i'm jeffrey brown. on the newshour tonight, with the final data before election day now out, we look at the overall jobs picture in america, and how the candidates are and are not addressing it. >> woodruff: then, long gas lines, continuing power outages, and massive cleanup efforts in the northeast. ray suarez updates the slow climb back after the storm. >> brown: ordinary citizens, some of them school children,
caught in the crossfire in syria's war. margaret warner has our report. >> as syrian rebels expand the areas they control, the assad regime has turned to long-range artillery and air attacks to hit the opposition and civilians as well. >> woodruff: we have a "battleground" dispatch from iowa, where immigration is rarely mentioned by the candidates, but is on the minds of voters. >> although latinos make up only 5% of iowa'sopulation, their numbers have increased by 110% over the last ten years. >> brown: plus mark shields and david brooks analyze the week's news. >> woodruff: that's all ahead on tonight's newshour. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by:
>> intel >> support also comes from carnegie corporation of new york, a foundation created to do what andrew carnegie called "real and permanent good." celebrating 100 years of philanthropy at carnegie.org. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and friends of the newshour. and... >> this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you.
>> brown: on this final friday before election day, there was word that jobs are on the increase, but so is unemployment. the numbers were seized upon by the presidential candidates as they began making closing arguments on an issue that's been front and center throughout the campaign. did an economy in need of a spark find one in october? u.s. employers across nearly all sectors were hiring, for a net gain of 171,000 new jobs. the labor department also revised its august and september figures higher, by 84,000. all told, it signaled slow but steady growth, and it was news that president obama wanted to play up in the campaign's final weekend, especially in one critical state. >> "oh (io), oh (io)" >> brown: the president made three stops in the buckeye state, starting in hilliard, just outside columbus. >> in 2008, we were in the
middle of two wars and the worst economic crisis since the great depression. and today, our businesses have created nearly five and a half million new jobs. and this morning, we learned that companies hired more workers in october than at any time in the last eight months. ( applause ) >> brown: and the trend line seemed promising, as well. since july, the economy has added an average of 173,000 jobs per month, up from just 67,000 a month in the spring. at the same time, though, the unemployment rate ticked up a tenth of a point in october to 7.9% as more people began looking for work again. in west allis, wisconsin, the president's republican challenger, mitt romney, focused on that number, insisting again, "we can do better." >> he said he was going to lower the unemployment rate down to 5.2% right now, and today we learn it's actually 7.9%, and that's nine million jobs short of what he promised. unemployment is higher today
than when barack obama took office. >> brown: what's more, romney warned, sticking with the president's economic policies will guarantee gridlock and worse. >> unless we change course, we may be looking at another recession. you can choose real change. you know that if the president is re-elected, he will still be unable to work with the people in congress. he has ignored them, attacked them, blamed them. the debt ceiling will come up again, and shutdown and default will be threatened, chilling the economy. >> brown: in turn, mr. obama accused his opponent of trying to scare voters over their economic futures. he pointed to a romney ad running in ohio that charges jeep is shipping jobs to china. >> you've got folks who work at the jeep plant who've been calling their employers worried, asking, "is it true? are our jobs being shipped to china?" and the reason they've been making these calls is that
governor romney's been running an ad that says so. except it's not true. >> brown: chrysler has said it has no plans to move the jobs. the romney campaign insists it's standing by its claim. there promised to be much more battling over economic policy, with the race in a dead heat and going down to the wire. we look now at the jobs picture with two economists with ties to the presidential candidates: john taylor of stanford university and the hoover institution. he adves t romy mpai on economic issues. and austan goolsbee of the university of chicago's booth school of business. he served as president obama's chairman of the council of economic advisers until last year. to the extent mob set aside the rhetoric of the campaign if you can for a moment, tell us about the bigger picture. what strikes you most, what worries you most about the jobs picture now and in the coming years? >> well, i would say any
reputable economist says every month n't just te any one month numbers, try to take a step back and look at the trend that's far more accurate in this. i think if you look at the trend the overall job creation has been relatively solid for the last three months. the overall growth rate of the economy is the most worrisome thing that it's been modest, you know, moderate growth. and that that is about the fastest growth rate of all the advanced countries of the world. i think the underlying fear that we have is this is not a strong period in the whole world and there are a lotf threats coming from the slowdowns in asia and in europe that we're trying to krofer come and we have to get the growth rate high per if we want to see faster job creation. >> brown: john taylor, same question what is the problem that most needs to be address by whoever is the next president? >> that unemployment rate, it's too high. it shouldn't be this high. and it has increased a bit. but it's increased even more
in states like pennsylvania, went up from 7.4 to 8.2 over the last few months. and the reason is the weak economy. we shouldn't be growing this slowly. we have an economy which can do much better. it's done better in similar periods in the past. and with the right policies it can do much better. gets unemployment down much further. also people dropping out of the labor force. you know, in ohio since the recovery began, 194,000 people just dropped out of the labor force, stopped looking for work. that's another bad sign that i think people should be very concerned about. it's really depressing what's happening with respect to the labor market right now in this country. >> brown: how much of it austan goolsbee, back to you, is the immediate economy, the cyclical-- the cycles that we see and how much of it is what is talked about it as structural issues, changing technology, globalization, a kind of new normal that we've heard about from many people? >> well -- >> i think-- hold on, let me
go with austan goolsbee here first. >> okay. >> okay, so two parts of the how much of the unemployment rate is coming from structural, i think not that high. i do think that is the thing that the economy is going to have to do. the fundamental reason why this recession looks a lot ke the 2001 recovery and not the 1983 recovery is we can't go back to doing what we were doing before the recession began. just as in 2001 a bubble popped and then you're trying to shift what the economy is doing. so there is some element of that. but we also have got a significant component as i say of the whole world has slowed down. the u.s. growth rate while not fast enough is faster than the rest of the advanced world. so we've got to find a wa to get ourselves boosted up where we're not getting any support from being able to increase our exports to other countries when that is exactly the place that we
need to be transforming into. so that is what made it nor difficult. >> brown: what is your answer to that cyclical versus structural, when it comes to jobs? >> i think it's largely cyclical. it's because the growth rate has been so slow coming out of the recession. and you can't blame the rest of the world. the u.s. has had strong growth in the past when japan has been suffering. and so it's our own problem, it'surwn policy that is the trouble right now. and i think that's why i am so frustrated, why i think it's tragic, quite frankly, because we could have better policy. we could have had this unemployment rate down already with the right policy. >> brown: well, staying with you, john taylor, then what can a president, we hear a lot of promises in this campaign. what can a president or president in congress actually do in terms of magic wands. when they say they'll do something, how much can they do immediately to affect the unemployment rate? >> i think they can do a tremdous aunt. it's not a magic wand.
it's just basic economics. we saw this in the 80s and 90s. it's not a partisan issue. when the right policies are in place, when we don't have all the short termism, the temporary stimulus packages or increases in regulation, the fiscal cliffs. when we get a solid policies that's predictable the economy grows. and when we have tax reform we get tax rate downs that estimate-- stimulates incentives to hire people t really is basic economics. that why this is tragic. applying basic economie economies-- economics we could do a lot better. >> brown: austan goolsbee, dow want to comment on what the president you work for has done. >> i will just say is we can agree on the basic economics but i think professor taylor has his history a little backward on that. in the 1990s bill clinton raised exactly the high income tax rates that barack obama wants to return the rates to. and the 2000s which he did not mention when george bush followed the policies very similar to what mitt romney is proposing, theyic if one or e
other is elected. >> right. you know, i was in the white house for a while and i used to joke, i crawled all around in the basement, i have yet to find that switch down there that you just flip it and then everything gets better. i think 90 plus percent of what happens in a growing economy has nothing to do with washington. what the president and what washington in general can do is try to set the stage and set a groundwork for policy at could encourage growth. and i think the shorter term that you are thinking about, the less can be done specifically by the president. so if you are asking over a one month or three month period, there's very little the president can do. if you start asking over a
five year, ten year period, then the policy decisions they make can influence quite a lot the way things go. >> brown: and john taylor, brief last word on that? >> well, i think as we are talking about four years what is going to happen the next four years. that say time where a president can make a tremendo dference. and we're talking about the past four years. and the president could have made a much better policy with the unemployment being so high. >> brown: all right, john taylor and austan goolsbee, thanks so much. >> thank you >> brown: and if you're ready for more analysis on the jobs numbers, you'll find it, as always, on paul solman's "making sense" page online. >> woodruff: still to come on the newshour: misery in the aftermath of the super-storm; civilian deaths in syria; a spotlight on immigration in iowa; plus, shields and brooks. but first, the other news of the day. here's kwame holman. >> holman: the news on jobs wasn't enough to lift wall street today. instead, stocks sank on worries
that the costs of hurricane sandy will eat into profits. the dow jones industrial average lost 139 points to close at 13,093. the nasdaq fell almost 38 points to close at 2,982. for the week, the dow and the nasdaq were off a fraction of 1%. korean auto makers hyundai and kia could end up paying hundreds of millions of dollars to car owners as compensation for overstating fuel economy. the environmental protection agency now says an audit revealed that 13 models averaged up to six miles a gallon less than advertised. some 900,000 vehicles sold in the last three years are affected. u.s. intelligence officials have rejected claims they failed to answer the attack on the u.s. consulate in benghazi, libya. there've been reports the cia told its security officers to "stand down" and not try to repel the attackers. senior intelligence officials denied that on thursy. they said a security team
responded within 25 minutes, even though they were outmanned and outgunned. those are some of the day's major stories. now, back to judy. >> woodruff: this was another difficult day in the aftermath of hurricane sandy. the u.s. death toll rose to at least 102, and for millions of people, basic needs became increasingly urgent. ray suarez has the story. >> suarez: four days after sandy hit, patience was in short supply. so were gasoline, electricity and clean water. again today, car after car after car waited long hours at gas stations in new york and new jersey. >> it's crazy because people are fighting, they jumping in front of each other, they want to get out of their car and fight you, so you going to have to stand in line to get gas or you won't get none. >> suarez: this afternoon, in hard-hit ocean county, new jersey, governor chris christie promised help. >> we are working with fema and
we have lots of the oil companies... gulf oil and hess have both said that they will deliver gasoline with the national guard and fema to any gas station that is not giving out gas because they are out of gas. we are on top of the gas situation. >> suarez: frustration was also at a boil on new york city's staten island, where local officials complained they've been largely ignored since monday's storm. >> this is america, not a third world nation. we need food, we need clothing. >> suarez: another fight was brewing over running the new york city marathon sunday morning beginning on staten island. new york city mayor michael bloomberg defended the decision. >> it doesn't use resources that can really make a difference in recovery and that sort of thing. it's a different group of people. we have to work around the clock for people to get through this thing, and i assure you we're doing that. if i thought it took any resources away from that we would, we would not do this.
>> bloomberg reversed course and announced the marathon was canceled. further adding to the frustration of many, the power was still off for well over three million customers, many of them in new york and new jersey. this man lives in far rockaway, in queens. >> we are not sitting around here singing "kumbaya." this is really a dangerous, dangerous situation, and it's a real dangerous place in the dark. >> suarez: the power company, consolidated edison, said it hopes to have all the lights back on in manhattan by tomorrow, but others could wait as long as november 11. new york governor andrew cuomo was unimpressed. >> that will be great for downtown manhattan. i grew up in a place called queens, and there's a place called brooklyn and there's a place called the bronx and a place called staten island. and they need their power back on. >> suarez: food was a pressing need in places like manhattan's lower east side, the "alphabet city" neighborhood, where volunteers have been handing out free meals. a local minister said many
people are struggling. >> they see that other areas are being taken care of and they totally overlooked us. now, a couple days later, we are finally getting some resources, and most of the resources that have come in so far have not come from the city, they have come from different organizations, charitable organizations, churches. >> suarez: meanwhile, the long job of cleaning up moved forward, slowly. >> this is the front of my house. >> suarez: in pleasantville, new jersey, near atlantic city, uprooted trees littered the landscape, along with homes declared "unsafe for human occupancy." returning residents spent the day picking up the pieces. >> this is the house we all grew up in, all my cousins, and it was my grandmother actually grew up in this house. it's been in our family for over 120 years, and it's withstood every hurricane until this one. >> suarez: but for all the sudden new difficuies just getting through the day, some optimism remained. >> i don't think that's going to defeat us, this one perfect storm.
>> suarez: and there were more signs of progress-- federal officials waived a rule that blocks foreign oil tankers from bringing fuel to the northeast. for more on the problems affecting residents we turn to patrick mcgeehan who has been covering the storm for "the new york times", patrick, i guess emblem at sick what you saw on the west side neighborhood off the hudson river in chelsea, tell us. >> i was down in chelsea today where the power was still out. in a building with no elevators so you had to walk up six flights to get up and down. and it is still dark around there. it's completely different than it is up here in midtown. and it's been that way all week. you know, people are mostly getting around on foot. the cabs are having trouble getting enough gasoline. there's one gas station on the west side in midtown sort of west of the theatre district. and it has a line, it had a line this morning of cars mostlya ca. all the way down to the
chelsea neighborhood, about 25 blocks. and it had to represent hours in line and seemed to be growing at the time. >> suarez: are people frustrated, is there this sense almost everywhere you go that people somewhere else are getting help faster than are you? >> yeah, i think the frustration is starting to build. i think people are reaching the outer limit of their patience with being without power, particularly. i think in the suburbs it's particularly bad because people expect to see a tuck pass their house n their neighborhood with people up working on lines. and when they don't see that they think they've been neglected or ignored. so you hear that from long island, you hear that from westchester county. you hear less of that in new york city because people don't really expect to see the repairmen, you know n front of their buildings, necessarily. and their power will come on sort of all at once like in neighborhoods as opposed to out in the suburbs where some people need power
restrung right to their house. >> suarez: is there a solid ste oblem? i mean wit s much damage to so many things in so many places is there a lot of wrecking fetid stuff around you don't very much to go yet. >> there are places where the city is starting to smechl i was in this building today where i was passing on my way up the stairs i was passing people carrying huge bags of trash down the stairs. that building had not had working toilets since monday there are a number of places like that i was in t copany headquarters and they have been without power since monday night. working. they don't have their toilets working either. or they didn't for much of the time. they might be back on now, but it smells bad in some of these buildings and i guess it's going to continue for another day or two. >> are people getting enough information from local
government about what they can expect and when? do people feel well informed? >> i think they do. i mean those who are able to get t receiving it is a problem, there has been no shortagef briefings by the mayor, governor cuomo, governor christie, utility company executives. they are doing lots of outreach but most of the news isn't that good if you are without power. so i don't know how much it makes people feel better. >> suarez: patrick mcgeehan from "the new york times", thanks for joining us. >> sure, thank you. >> brown: hurricane sandy also devastated parts of the caribbean, including haiti, where 54 people died. special correspondent fred de sam lazaro filed a dispatch and photos from port au prince. those are on our "world" page. >> woodruff: and we turn now to syria. the newshour sent freelance video journalist toby muse there recently to see how civilians are faring.
as margaret warner reports, many have become targets in the country's civil war. a warning-- some images may be disturbing. >> warner: within the walls of a secret school in northwest syria, young students are studying arithmetic, english and arabic. their wide eyes and smiles betray little of the war raging just outside in the streets of their town of al-bab and across their country. >> and what does he think of the planes when they fly overhead? >> ( translated ): he doesn't fear. >> warner: run by teachers who asked to remain anonymous, this classroom was opened just weeks ago in al-bab, a city of 120,000 less than an hour from aleppo and now ostensibly under control of t reb fors of the free syrian army or f.s.a. in f.s.a. areas like these, the syrian government is
increasingly turning to air and long-range artillery attacks, hitting not only rebels, but civilian institutions, too. six schools in al-bab were bombed in the last two months, this one by a mig fighter jet in september, just before students were set to return from summer vacation. although some schools remain standing, the scorched murals and homework sheets amidst the rubble warn parents not to send their children back. that's given rise to clandestine classrooms like this one in places thought safer from detection and attack. >> we are all terrified from the situation because we do not know when we will die. >> warner: abdul latif is an opposition activist in al-bab. >> it's not the schools that are the target only. it's anywhere, anyplace. all places in the city are a target. >> warner: on the day a newshour crew visited town, reports of a fighter jet approaching sent residents fleeing for safety.
though reliable statistics are hard to come by, one activist group estimates more than 32,000 have been killed in the 19 months since the syrian civil war began. and of those, the vast majority are estimated to be civilians. >> it's one of the worst civilian death tolls of any conflict in the world in the last few years. >> warner: tom malinowski is director of human rights watch in washington, d.c., which is working to monitor the situation on the ground. >> one horrific example involves the shelling and bombing of bread lines in cities like aleppo. syrian civilians come out to line up for bread at these bakeries. it's the only way they have of feeding their families. and when a large group of people gathers, a bomb lands or a shell lands. it's very hard to imagine that that's random. >> warner: one instance-- on august 21, a government helicopter opened fire on a
breadline in an aleppo suburb, killing 21. >> they attack bakeries where they know people are going to be and get at the food supply of the population. they burn houses, dwellings for civilians. >> warner: jeffrey white, a defense fellow at the washington institute for near east policy, says the syrian government is waging a deliberate "scorched earth" strategy. >> it's trying to get at f.s.a. units that are embedded inside the population. where people are, the f.s.a. tends to be. so it is trying to strike at the f.s.a., cause some attrition on them. but it's also trying to punish the people, the civilians, for suorting the f.s.a. the relationship between the f.s.a. units and the people is critical to the success of the rebellion >> warner: why don't the regime forces just go into these areas and take them and hold them? >> it basically can't do that any longer. six months ago, they could go anywhere in the country, effectively, they wanted with armor mechanized forces backed up by artillery, and simply push
the f.s.a. out of the area and retake the area and reestablish a presence. the opposition is strong enough now that the regime's ground forces, to go into those areas, is a punishing affair for the regime. >> warner: throughout the conflict, syrian president bashar al-assad has blamed the high civilian deaths on the rebels, foreign agents and military accidents. >> ( translated ): we do not carry out these acts because we love to spill blood. this battle was forced upon us and the result is this blood that has been spilled. >> warner: malinowski of human rights watch says the rebels do have abuses to account for, too. >> the overwhelming majority of human rights abuses have been committed by the syrian government and its militia allies. that doesn't' mean the rebels have been perfect. >> warner: just today, video surfaced of f.s.a. forces allegedly executing unarmed syrian soldiers, though the
veracity of the video could not be verified. still, when it comes to killing civilians, independent observers hold the regime primarily responsible. in late may, more than 100 men, women and children were butchered in the village of houla. a united nations-appointed panel said government forces and loyalist militias were responsible for the massacre. then, too, president assad denied his regime's forces were involved. >> ( translated ): in reality, even monsters would not carry out what we have seen, especially what we saw in the houla massacre. we as syrians have lived during this period and will continue to feel embarrassment every time we remember it as long as we are alive. >> warner: tom malinowski says the assad regime will ultimately pay a price for a pattern of killing that violates the geneva conventions. >> if the government is bombing a city, even wh the intent of killing rebels, but if it's
using weapons that are... fall indiscriminately and kill a lot of civilians, that's also a violation of international law. >> warner: but the threat of legal action offers no protection to these students, who now dream of what they'll become when they grow up. >> dentist. >> teacher". >> warner: no one can tell them when this war will e, what kind of country they will inherit, and whether they'll live to fulfill those dreams. >> brown: next, immigration may not be a front-burner issue for the presidential candidates right now, but it is something many voters care about in the swing state of iowa. paul yeager of iowa public television reports on how demographic shifts in his state are changing the political landscape. his story is part of our new collaboration with public media partners across the country from
eas that will likely determine the outcome of the election in a series we call "battleground dispatches." >> reporter: last fall, in the run up to the republican caucuses, illegal immigration was a hot topic on the campaign trail in iowa. >> if you hire someone who is illegal, we're going to sanction you. >> reporter: but this fall, despite numerous appearances by president obama and mitt romney, the issue is almost never mentioned in this key battleground state. it's surprising. because although latinos make up only 5% of iowa's population, their numbers have increased by 110% over the last ten years. perhaps nowhere is that growth more evident than right here. perry, iowa, has a population of about 8,000 people. it's located north and west of des moines, and was founded by german immigrants who worked on the railroad. but over the last 30 years, the population has changed. immigrants have come from central and south america
looking for work, and they're finding it at the local meat packing plant. jay pattee owns ben's five and dime store and serves as the town's mayor. he's watched as nearly 3,000 latino immigrants arrived in perry, many to work at the tyson pork processing plant. >> perry was a pretty ivory place in 1980 when we moved here. and when it started to change, i think some people were afraid of the change. i guess it's the fear of the unexpected. >> reporter: does that exist at all today? >> maybe so. it's a lot less evident than it was. >> reporter: according to the mayor, one reason the town has adjusted so well is that newcomers were never isolated in separate neighborhoods or schools. pattee, a conservative democrat, thinks that has made folks more moderate on the immigration
issue and less tolerant of extremist language used by some candidates. >> michelle bachmann came to perry to build up support for her really tough stance on immigration, and i think she was disappointed in what she got out of here. >> reporter: even philip stone, a retired school teacher, city councilman and lifelong republican, was disturbed by the tone he heard during the caucuses, especially when candidates proposed deporting illegal immigrants. >> i don't think we can send them back, being realistic. we're not in a position to upend families in the neighborhood of eight million people, and send them back. >> reporter: and he worries that anti-immigrant rhetoric is turning off a group of potential
voters. >> as a republican, i think there are a lot of opportunities to work into the latino communities, bring these people in. it's unfortunate that it's such a hot issue with some people that prevents it a little bit. >> reporter: are they welcome? >> i'm sure they would be. but i'm sure their perception is that the republican party is not theirs, for a variety of reasons. >> reporter: iowa has seen it's share of deportations of illegal workers, most notably in huge meatpacking raids in postville and marshalltown four and six years ago. but those factories have since been closed or taken over. tyson foods is now one of the largest meat processors in the state,nd uses a systemalled e-verify to check the legal status of workers. it's a system operated by the department of homeland security,
and is used on a voluntary basis across the country. mitt romney has said he would like to see more states require that businesses use it. farmer and republican state representative julian garrett sponsored a bill that would do just than in iowa. >> it's a very simple system. it isn't costly to business. with all of the problems we've had at the border, it just struck me that this is so simple and efficient and would have a huge impact on the problem. >> reporter: garrett's bill failed in the statehouse earlier this year, but he's hoping to try again next session. >> legitimate businesses see their competitors hiring illegals and paying substandard wages. and that puts your honest person at a competitive disadvantage because they're paying higher wages.
that's not fair to them. in fact, it puts them under pressure to violate the law themselves to stay in business and compete. >> reporter: tony sweet, a manager at the perry plant, likes the e-verify system, but thinks to really solve the problem, more must be done at the border. >> one of the issues that has come up is, "do we need more immigration laws?" and my opinion is we don't. i think we have plenty of laws on e books. but we need to do a better job enforcing the laws we have. one of the things that concerns me is that our borders aren't secure. we have a rather casual way for people to come and go as they please. >> reporter: high school teacher eddie diaz, whose parents immigrated from mexico, agrees
...worries the political rhetoric of the election cycle has had a corrosive effect. >> demonizing people isn't going to help. it's just going to make it a challenge that's going to go on for generations. >> reporter: diaz supports president obama, even though he didn't deliver on his promise of comprehensive immigration reform. he says he can't vote for romney because he doesn't know where he stands. >> on immigration, just like other issues, he's shifted his positions and it's hard for me to nail down what he believes. the dream act, for example-- he's gone back and forth. this last debate, he said he would not veto it, whereas previous debates, he said he would veto it and not support it. there are a lot of issues with immigration where i can move to the middle. but the dream act is not one of them. >> reporter: although mr. obama supports a pathway to citizenship for young people brought to this country by undocumented parents, he did not get a bill through congress. instead, last june, he issued an
executive order to delay deportation for those who qualify for up to two years. 24-year-old ana araica is applying for that deferment right now. she came to this country from nicaragua nine years ago and has three young children. >> i want to become legal for my kids. because i want to be able to provide for them. i want to work. >> reporter: araica is getting help with her application from sandra sanchez with the iowa american friends service network. sanchez says programs that encourage young immigrants to become legal citizens should be welcomed by iowans. >> we are a state that is aging, and that is aging very rapidly. our baby boomers are retiring.
and we're not having young people stay here, other than immigrants. we need to understand that immigration in iowa is actually an asset. and we could tap into that asset and manage it in such a way that we can grow. >> reporter: with polls in iowa showing president obama with a thin but steady lead, it's likely that both candidates will try to tap into the growing number of latino voters. >> brown: online, you can watch a video profile of the town of perry, iowa, on our politics page. >> woodruff: and to the analysis of shields and brooks. that's syndicated columnist mark shields and "new york times" columnist david brooks.
so one of the things he said was to o him immigration refo is the second big, and yet it barely comes up. he is not ready for obvious rrntion it is a tough issue and mitt romney is not for obvious reason sois think if obama is re-elected i'm not sure, it is to the going to be a top priority. >> re-elected? >> re-elected, just gave me a cold chill. >> maybe in the second term it will be. if obama is re-elected he will be. and i suspect they would be happy to go back to george w. bush was trying to do a few years ago.
but it is a tragedye haven't really talked about because it is much harder to get something passed. >> how do you see it. >> i think the republican party is kursd and it's cursed itself. and they spent 22 debate, presidential candidates arguing about who was the most against or building the biggest, widest most daunting even electrified wall to keep people out. and mitt romney ran to the right of newt gingrich and rick perry. he was the most try ghent-- strident, round them up and toss them out of the country. >> energy time, and political capital to pass legislation state after state to make it more difficult to vote, primarily for latinos. and third they don't campaign in their neighborhoods or their community t they don't ask for their vote, and finally mitt romney and his unguarded moment at boca raton in his 47 percent
speech taped without his knowledge says that he would be better off if he could run as a latino because his father was born in mexico. i me if you are a 19 or 20-year-old latino this is going to cost your support for the republican party as a generation. they ignored george w. bush, jeb bush, his brother who has been quite enlightened on the subject and said you cannot, in this country, continue to win only with white people's votes. and i just, i think that the very enlightened voices i heard in iowa, in the piece, you know, i hope the republicans heed them. because we are looking at an election right now where barack obama will probably get over 70% of latino vote. >> woodruff: so a net netive for the republicans? >> oh, yeah, increasingly. and i agree with the political analysis. i do think there is a pretty bipartisan from democrats who desire to close the border, to secure the border. or they will-- before they will trust washington to do anything on the immigration reform. but as far as the political prognosis, you can talk to
karl rove, ken mel nunn, who ran the republican party, they can look at the demographics t is simple and obvious that it has just been shrink. within a few years you have swing state, maybe not even swing state, new mexico, nevaa, texas starts becoming a swing state. >> a blue state. >> the trends are so damn obvious, but they walk the other way. >> woodruff: so the campaign, the rest of the campaign, mark, jobs numbers out today. but how doe this fit in and where does this stand. >> don't pop the champagne. we're a long way from five percent but i mean the jobs numbers were better than expected which is always good. and they were increased from both august and september. they were higher. and wh ring house prices, home prices, and confidence and optimistic index being highest, the highest in five years, this is all encouraging news.
i mean it's not determinive news but all encouraging news for an incumbent. >> woodruff: does it affect the campaign, do you think? >> i'm not sure the last jobs numbers have a huge effect. in 1992 george h.w. bush had bigger jobs numbers. he had really significant growth. people used the economy had will be been locked. noneeless the last couple weeks of the campaign, you have to say there have been a series of events that helped the president, none of which hugely cons consequence but that would be the colin powell endorsement, the blockberg em dors am, the jobs numbers, a series of things that have gone the president away. if you look at the polling there has been a slide move nationally, rock solid wins or not wins but leads in the swing states. and then the final thing, and this is something you should really look for in a re-elect rate, what's the president's job approval numbers. that's something that is just a very good indicator. and i looked this morning, and it was 49.5 or so if you average a bunch of polls
together. that's good enough, that's putting him very close to be good enough to win. >> woodruff: under 50%. >> it's under 50 but george w. bush was more or less around there when he got re-elected. so it is possible to win with a 49 plus job approval. >> woodruff: how do you see it? this is the week of the storm, the president was off the campaign trail. >> sure. two things. i think david's right about the job, the president's job approval number. in fact, rather than avaginpolls i just went to look at the same poll, "the wall street journal" nbc poll asked the same question in 2004 just before the election. that they did in 2012. the incumbent president then, george w bush had a 49% kpaferable-- favorable job rating, 48% unfavourable. barack obama is 49 percent favorable, 48% unfavourable. >> woodruff: exactly the same. >> right direction for the country, 41% then, 41% now. and would you be pleased positive if the president were re-elected, 50% said yes then, 50% say yes now. so and george w. bush won
with 50.7%. i think the biggest event quite beyond either party's control is obviously the tragic of sandy's storm, the death and devastation it left in its wake. but at a time, judy, only elected executives, mayor, governors and presidents are legitimate spokespeople at a time like this. it is interesting, i didn't hear a single grover norquist small government champion at the time when the storm comes down and 're okin forelp, we're looking for whether it's c-1 10b, 130s to bring in equipment, to deflood the city, all the way around. and i think the president stepped up and he got an unanticipated validation from governor christie. one of mitt romney's strongest supporters, the keynoter at the convention said the president has been excellent.
he's been gone beyond, it's been a pleasure and a privilege to work with him. that fema had been phenomenal. and you will recall in the 2,000 debate, first debate jim lehrer asked george w. bush, tell us one good thing about bill clinton. >> fema an james lee whit, and the tragedy of gorge w bush's administration, fema and michael brown at the time of katrina. barack obama rebuilt it. and we are seeing it it work and respond. >> woodruff: do you think the storm could be making that much of a difference. >> i think the perception and you see activity and you see the chris christie thing. people are saying why is christie doing this, for his own mtt ambitions. >> i don't think there is anything like that when you are the governor of a state, a state you love that is in your heart and soul you feel an intense sense of stewardship. and when it gets wallopped by the storm the poll particulars seems irrelevant at this point. and as christie said, i don't care about the politics. if he is going to help me
with my state, he is going to help the people of my state, then i'm grateful and i will work with him. so i think it is as simple as that. and i think he has been perfectly willing to hold the view that he's not a good steward of the economy, not good on budget negotiations but he's good on this. and we worked together on th. i don't think that is politically inconsistent. but nonetheless, as a-- about where the election is-- you know, people are being reasonably confident, i think bloomberg, christie, obama very merged recently well. >> woodruff: so just three more days until everybody goes to vote, who is going to vote. there have been a lot of early voting. mark, what are you looking for these last few days what are you listening for? >> i guess you know ohio as much as anything, judy. i mean i don't think-- i have listened to the windup speeches, the closing arguments. they haven't made the hair on the back of my neck stand up. maybe i'm missing something. mitt romney began by telling us, i believe in america. he's ending it by i believe
in america. barack obama says i represent change. and don't go back to where we were. romney is sort of the candidate of restoration and obama is the candidate of continuation. but i, you know, i don't-- there is no defining event, i guess, or statement thai'm looking for in the last couple of days. >> woodruff: what are you hearing? >>. >> i thought mitt romney gave maybe the best speech of his campaign today, sort of a little late it was in wisconsin, a number of people said it was a speech he should have given at the convention. it was more eloquent. it was not an original, new argue. but it was a more eloquent, more beautifully phrased speech of why do you think the next four days-- years will be different than the last four. things about business, the pta doesn't have a union you about president obama will really step short on education reform because he answers to his political supporters it was familiar arguments but phrased more beautifully. will it swing votes at this
late date, sort of dubious. but there have been occasions when votes have shifted in the last few days. i think the dui story which hit george w. bush in 2000, i think that did shift. but it takes something sort of extraordinary. >> the thing i think that will stand out after if we hadn't had sandy would be the story of the week is the really shameless ad that the romney people put on in ohio that chrysler was going to ship its production overseas to china. byhe fact that chrysler has already committed $500 million of creation of production in toledo and 1100 new jobs there. but it was just, it was really scaring people, you know, that somehow the president had been part of bailing out chrysler and gm and ordered to ship those jobs, and the production overseas to china. that was shall did -- and he got attacked by the republican papers in the state including the youngstown vindicater being
indefensible. and iust think it had to be the product of, conclusion that the auto bailout really was a mountain too high for him to climb. and they had to somehow destroy booma's credibility. >> woodruff: and the romney campaign is saying the ad is accurate, that it is factual. >> they seem to be the only ones though, to be honest saying that. and so one of the questions of the campaign is does that hurt. has anybody been hurt by doing a dishonest adment so far we haven't seen that much evidence. i do think there is some evidence that people are just getting sick of it they are saying this is the most dishonest race we've seen. so it is possible that some of the very early ads that obama ran against romney last summer could turn out to be the crucial things that turn the whole election, i think a number of them were dishonest. maybe not as dishonest opinions about romney's business career and what was closing when he left bain, and things like that but i hope somehow we have learned a lesson that dishonesty
doesn't pay. but so far it's hard to see, no one in the campaign has drawn that lesson. >> this is one that brought general motors and chrysler off the sidelines. the c.e.o. of chrysler and gm saying this is beyond anything of-- . >> woodruff: we don't want you on the sidelines, you will be right here with us next monday, tuesday, as long as it takes until we know what the results is. >> woodruff: mark shield, david brooks. and mark and david keep up the and mark and david keep up the talk on the "doubleheader," recorded in our newsroom. that will be posted at the top of the rundown later tonight. >> brown: finally tonight, a preview of a pbs election special: an in-deptlook at the candidates and their plans to address the nation's most critical issues. "what's at stake" was produced by "need to know," with contributions from its own correspondents, as well as "frontline," "washington week," and the newshour. one segment is a report i did on subjects that have not been part of the conversation this election year. here's an excerpt about gun
violence, beginning with a largely ignored fact of life in 2012, a series of mass shootings. >> two kills and nine wounded outside the empire state building, seven killed at a university in oakland, california, seven dead at a sikh temple in oak creek, wisconsin. 12 killed and dozens more wound at a move yee these per in aurora, colorado. and then there was this. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the -- >> congresswoman gabby giffords leading the democratic national convention in the pledge of allegiance some 20 months after she was shot in the head in arizona. >> with liberty and justice for all. (cheers and applause) >> there was one brief exchange during the second debate about gun violence. >> i also share your belief that weapons that were designed for soldiers in war
theatres don't belong on our streets. >> i'm not in favor of new pieces of legislation on guns and taking guns away or making certain guns illegal. >> reporter: but during three hours of debates devoted to domestic matters the phrase "gun control" was never mentioned, not even by the democratic incumbent. >> you'll find the rest of thategmt >> brown: you'll find the rest of that segment and much more on our pbs election special, "what's at stake," airing tonight on most pbs stations. >> the major development, the u.s. economy created more jobs than expected in october. but the unemployment rate went up as more people looked for work. president obama hald the job growth while republican mitt romney said rising unemployment proves the president's policies have failed. and in the northeast there were growing demands to restore basic services in the wake of hurricane sandy. is politicking from the pulpit aropriate? we examine that on-line. kwame holman explains
>> holman: a group of pastors wants the right to endorse political candidates, despite an i.r.s. rule prohibiting it. watch a video about the debate. and on "art beat," we look at a new translation of "the inferno" from poet mary jo bang that offers up a modern look at dante's epic. all that and more is on our web site, newshour.pbs.org. judy. >> woodruff: and that's the newshour for tonight. on monday, we'll wrap up the final day of campaigning and report on the candidates' last push in ohio. i'm judy woodruff. >> brown: and i'm jeffrey brown. "washington week" can be seen later this evening on most pbs stations. we'll see you online, and again here monday evening. have a nice weekend, and don't forget to set your clocks back. thanks for joining us. good night. >> major funding for the pbs newshour has been provided by: >> intel-- sponsors of tomorrow. >> and by the bill and melinda
gates foundation. dedicated to the idea that all people deserve the chace to live a healthy, productive life. >> and with the ongoing support of these institutions and foundations. and... >> this program was made possible by the corporation for public broadcasting. and by contributions to your pbs station from viewers like you. thank you. captioning sponsored by macneil/lehrer productions aptied by media access group at wgbh access.wgbh.org

Chakeres Theatres Cinema 10
3115 E. National Road,
2 people favorited this theater
Chakeres Cinema 7 opened in the shell of a former Jo-Ann Fabrics in 1990. The theatre in 1996 added three screens to the left side (as they did with the Celina Cinema). Cinema 7then became Cinema 10. The Cinema 10 is located just down from Chakeres Melody Cruise-In and across from the old Show Boat Drive-In.

Cinema 7 opened in March, 1990, and Cinema 10 opened in October, 1996…First movies screened in the new three-screen area were "The Chamber", "The Glimmer Man", and "That Thing You Do!".
Also…the old Showboat Drive-In isn't across the street from Cinema 10 but the land where the Showboat sat until its closing in 1986 is about a mile or two away from Cinema 10 and diagonally located from the Melody Cruise-In 1 &2. The land where the Showboat sat is still vacant.
The Cinema 7/10 is typical of the "shoebox style" theatres that were built in the 1980's and into the 90's. No auditorium décor to speak of. At least when the theatre opened it had stereo. Springfield's two biggest theatres at the time, the State and Regent, didn't have stereo (though the Regent had the speakers for it, they stopped using them many years before. Stereo was about the only positive thing one could say for the Cinema 10. Small, character-less, screening rooms. Of late, also not very well maintained. Springfield deserves to have one of the big chains come in and build a new theatre with stadium seating, large screens, etc. Also, the State and Regent should be restored. To think, these showplaces were closed so that the Cinema 7/10 could open. Progress!

How much day -light do we gain each day at this time of year ? - daylight gained per day after the solstice
The other day my roommate informed me that we won 7 minutes daylight. I told him I thought he was a closer to two. Then, as amended by deep reflection, to 3, then 2 I'm confused, 7,3,2 or 1. Does anyone have the right number?

Daylight Gained Per Day After The Solstice How Much Day -light Do We Gain Each Day At This Time Of Year ?

Depends on what win its width above the equator, every day more.
If you are in Miami, is the gain only 50 seconds, but in Boston, is more likely to double.
In both cases is low, as we have over 21 December, when it is exactly zero, the whole world. - February 14, 2010 at 4:40 AM

The variation curve of daylight and the actual amount of light depends on latitude and date. Wins In other words, almost every city loses a different amount of daylight for a particular day.
Here is a link to a simulator for it: http://www.sunrisesunset.com/ - February 14, 2010 at 2:01 PM

Most weather reports give sunrise and sunset for his position. Select a time the pages and enter your postcode or the name of the city. Find the section of astronomy.

Answer: The Arduino Microcontroller
The Arduino board, a wildly popular open-source hardware module, is indirectly named after King Arduin of Italy–who ruled Italy briefly between 1002-1004 CE. How did his name become attached to a circuit board a millennium after he was deposed? The founders of the Arduino project live in the small Italian town of Ivrea which is King Arduin's home town and the location of the Bar Di Re Arduino, a pub named in his honor. By way of the drinking habits of a 21st century man the name of an 11th century king was attached to the world's most popular prototyping board.

Time to wait
Whether you submitted your application this past weekend or earlier, the pressure of the deadline probably weighed upon you. Now, for better or worse, there's not much you can do but wait. (I say "not much" rather than "nothing" because, of course, you should make sure your application materials were received and that your file is complete. Check your GAMS account to be sure.)
We're making good progress in compiling application files. From my desk I can see three mounds of applications in some state of completeness — probably about 300 in total. Time to call our student Committee members in to grab their reading for the weekend.
Meanwhile, you can sit back and put all thoughts of graduate school out of your mind. More productively, you can use the next two-plus months to continue to learn about the schools to which you've applied. That way, in the spring, you'll be in a good position to make a decision on where to enroll. To that end, today I want to point you toward Fletcher's facebook page, where several students shared photos from their winter break.

We Cheer

We Cheer is an excellent and novel take on creating a game that utilizes Wii's motion controls for something intuitive and unexpected.
Overall, We Cheer's challenging gameplay is exhilarating. However, it does shatter preconceptions about the game. We Cheer can't be played casually and it can't be played carelessly. It's plenty of fun, but whereas Wii Sports was happy to have you simply move, We Cheer challenges you to perform.
If you happen to be a real cheerleader or someone who dances a lot, then We Cheer is a great buy. (However, it also means you likely already do this for free.) It's also a great buy if you like rhythm games and you have lots of stamina.
We Cheer isn't too extravagant in game modes or innovative gameplay, but it's an excellent diversion for a weekend.
It veers between demanding precise movements and accepting vague waves. [May 2009, p.78]
I would have enjoyed the game even more, however, were it not so brutally difficult. [Dec 2008, p.96]
While We Cheer is certainly no Guitar Hero, it would be deemed enjoyable to many who appreciate similar games in the music genre.
One look at the cover of We Cheer and it's far too easy to skip right past it on the way to another rhythm game, but that would be a mistake, especially if you're looking for a challenge, as few games offer such a solid mix of difficulty and song selection.
It won't appeal to anyone over eight. [Apr 2009, p.83]
If anything, I can't help but see We Cheer as a missed opportunity. The game is filled to the brim with personality and has something for everyone on its rather impressive track list, but the gameplay itself is simply exhaustive trial and error routines that leave you with a sour taste in your mouth.
It had potential but at the end of the day it just doesn't work. This really needs Wii MotionPlus.
We Cheer's so unresponsive, in fact, that I spent four hours in championship mode, trying to beat the easiest song -- Hoku's "Perfect Day" -- to no avail. It's a fate I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy.

Well it feels like if you blinked you missed it! How are we already heading towards the end of the 2014 Zeo Superleague Netball season?
It's been one cracking competition, with more coverage than ever, more support than ever and I would say more exciting games than ever and it's nearly all over, but the question is, who will be champions.
I'm not sure I enjoy writing about this, as the reality of Monday night looms ever closer and another playoff dawns upon me and my team, but before we get to that let's have a round-up of the story so far.
The bottom
So I guess the biggest disappointment for me this year were Loughborough, and I have to say that as I backed them to be the dark horses of the league. With the appointment of a new head coach, kiwi Marg Foster, the inclusion of three imports and the bed of Loughbrough Uni talent, I thought that maybe they could upset some people.
Unfortunately for them it just didn't quite pull together. It must have been a difficult year for the team, with the coaching staff coming in quite late and the fact they weren't always there for all the sessions and games, must have made it tough for the players. The imports perhaps didn't have the same impact as perhaps other players in the league such as Sam May at Mavericks, and at times the group looked lost.
I guess speaking from personal experience, overseas coaches need time to work with a team, as you're often having to change a whole culture. This doesn't happen within 3-4months, it can take years and so I'm guessing there will be lessons learnt. I have to say I was most impressed by Lauren Steadmans leadership, keeping the group together and looking after the youngsters. And although there was talk about the quality of the young players, I still saw some sparks and was particularly impressed with Desmond and Joseph and look forward to them returning to Surrey in the future.
The all-mosts
So there were some close calls when it came to make that final 4th spot and these three were not far off the mark.
Let's start with Northumbria, a new line up and a new culture/era for them. The inclusion of a core Northern Ireland group, a good solid import in Georgia Beaton and a dual coaching role for Kate Carpenter and Lisa Stanley saw a very strong start for the Newcastle team. And although all their victories came against the bottom half of the table, they also came close to upsetting a few big teams along the way.
They had a huge win against Celtic and a tight home match against the Mavericks have to be etched in their minds. For me I was impressed with several players, McCulloch at GA with the ever steady Lennon and Toner at WD, able to read the game with the best of them.
I guess the split training sessions for the Irish and Newcastle based girls and the constant travel must have again taken its toll on the team and the final hurdle of being able to compose themselves for a full 60 minutes was their downfall. We know the Northern Irish girls will have benefited hugely moving forward to the Commonwealth Games, the question is we will see a similar set up for next year?Onto Yorkshire Jets, and what a season they had, again, I'm guessing they must be asking what they need to do to gain a top four spot. They've become the team that always takes a scalp, last season a one goal home win again Storm and this year a big win over Mavericks. Couple that with a one goal defeat to Thunder and a high scoring loss to Celtic and they know they are certainly in the mix.
So what is it? Well consistency is an easy word to throw around, but it matters when it comes to playing the top picks. There is no doubt they have the talent, I'm a big fan of Jo Walker, personally I think she's the closest thing to Rach Dunn. She can take ball forward and back and causes headaches for defenders.
Then of course there is the the playmaker Nat Haythornwaite, who leads their attack end. Jets always have a way of bringing in quality imports too and I think they haven't disappointed this year, although young, always fearless. But the problem with a young side is that you can never know what performance you're going to get. However they keep building their culture and if they can keep the group together long enough I don't think it'll be too long before we see them really challenging for playoffs.
Finally Celtic Dragons, and what a year they have had. Three major injuries all to circle defenders, the loss of key centre court Sophie Morgan early on and the decision to whether keep Cato in the front or back. With all that going on it was amazing to see how they kept it together and still challenged everyone.
Taking a draw and a victory off Bath is no mean feat, coming back in the Jets game to win 70-67 and of course narrowly losing to us by one goal away from home in the last few seconds, shows what a different season it could have been for the welsh side. Melissa Hyndman was very clear about what this season was all about in terms of the Commonwealth Games, however maybe if they had played it differently in the first half of the season with their no fear feeding attitude that came in to force at the games played on I think they'd be in a semi-final again.
However as they start preparing for International duty now they must be pleased with players performances this year and how some have really stepped up, for me in particular the youngsters and WA Bethan Dyke was someone that really stood out and impressed.
The play-offs
So as Easter Monday arrives the two semi-final fixtures are set and it was no surprises for me with the final four, although I perhaps wouldn't have predicted the order and that Mavericks the team I tipped to beat this year would have cemented their spot with only the last game of the regular season, but they made it and the stage is set for what is going to be two cracking games.
First to go will be Thunder v Bath. As it stands so far this season they have a victory each, both defeating each other away from home. Both tightly contested and never really convincing victories over each other, this is set to be a tough one to call.
Match ups
So if we look at the match ups, Serena Gutherie and Sara Bayman have to be the key players in this game. Both in C, both fighting for Commonwealth Games spots, this will not disappoint. For me Baymans flair and every other ball game in attack, will be trying to combat Gutheries spring and incredible intercepts in the defence end. If either one gets on top of the other, their team is going to be tough to beat.
Other key players for me will be the match up of Housby on Francis, can she continue to have the incredible season she has so far and not be fazed by the England defender? Or will Francis step up after a lot of the season out injured and show her authority on the youngster?
Down the other end, surely Dovey has to start to try and stop Pamela Cookey - who is one of the five players nominated for player of the season. In frightening form at the moment, if Cookey gets free reign in that circle, she will be difficult to stop, Dovey will have a tough job.
The loss of Sara Hale is big for Thunder as it was a regular change of the northern side throughout the early rounds; however with Jodie Gibson and Georgie Webster on the bench, they still have depth.
For Bath they have been plagued with injuries, none more so than to key player Francis, however she is back and will hopefully not be on court restrictions so can have a real impact. Rumour has it Sam Cook is back on the training circuit too, and with her call up to the May England Tour, will we see her at any point over the next week?
Won or lost
Thunder with the home advantage should have a slight upper hand, however for me this game will be won or lost in the attack end and in particular the final third. You know both teams are well structured defensively and will always turn over the ball before it gets in the circle, out in that end third and line. So the team that can keep patient, keep ball and frustrate the other team will be victorious for me.
Storm v Mavericks
The second match will be table toppers Storm against rivals Mavericks. If it's anything like the last two games with a two goal victory in each to Storm, then we're in for a good match. Undefeated Storm have become the team to beat, and although probably one of the more consistent teams in the competition, it's Mavericks that have improved throughout and are finally coming into their own when it matters.
Match ups
Looking at the ends, two nominated player of the season's Storms GS Rach Dunn V GK Layla Guscoth. Layla has had some impressive games at keeper this year none more so than when she took apart Cato at Dragons. The match up here will be no different, the competitions leading scorer has been on fire, and will be looking to continue, Guscoth job, is simply to do anything to stop her.
Down the other end, Storm Captain Hannah Reid at GK up against England superstar GS Kadden Corbin. With Reid being called up to the May England tour, she'll have alto to prove when it comes to combating Corbin. Her rotating style of play definitely doesn't suit Storm's D, so Reid will have her work cut out.
Both teams go into the match will full line ups, Storm having limited injuries through the year, whereas Mavs have suffered with the Corbin, East and Buchannen all key players out at several points.
Won or lost?
Storm's home advantage may not be so much as was proven at the copper box, with just as many Mavs fans attending the game, and with the last two games so close, no one can have real bragging power. For me this game is all about the defensive pressure. If Storm can finally work out how to stop the power and speed of the Corbin sisters they're in with a good chance, however if May and Guscoth work out how to stop Dunn well then Storm won't really have an answer.
All in all we know Monday will be as exciting as ever, and this time I'm too involved, so I'll leave you to make up your own minds who will win...

What every toy box should have
Reviewed: 16 October 2014 by LadyHotice, a Bisexual Married Female
This is an amazing toy for both him and her. The package came in a nice box that has an outer skin on and the box just slid out the top. Inside, the toy is presented, and to the first look, wow, it's big, silky smooth and purple. ;-)
One end has the bulb, which is very big (I'm very small), so it was a tight fit, but once in it fits wonderfully, and your body will grip. And the sensations, can I say "oh, my god". The bulb hits all the right places with very little movement, and it's made from medical-grade silicone, so it heats up to your body temperature very quickly.
One small thing to add is as a woman, I get very wet and due to the silky smooth silicone it can make it hard to grip in place, but nothing a hand won't hold in place or maybe invest in a strap. But don't let this put you off - it's amazing.
The other end has an 8 inch insertable cock, and is 4.5 inches thick - plenty, more than enough for me. Like many people I think silicone, and go, oh okay, so it's soft and won't be all that good. But nope, I was shocked at how firm it is. It's as firm as a real cock.
Putting it to the test, it was given a full workout, or should I say it gave me a work out. ;-p
The cock was very realistic and it has just the right arc that rubs the G-spot, so, yes, ladies we get best of both, and the O I got was just out of this world.
10 stars all the way.
- Pros
- Easy to clean, firm and fun.
- Cons
- Would benefit from a strap, us ladies do get wet and the bulb does slip.
- Bottom line
- Best toy I own, would say to any couple, you need to try this.

It'll make a man out of you
Reviewed: 27 August 2014 by blueraven, a Bisexual Going Steady Female
I got this strapless strap on for my trans partner and I. I was really excited about it and still love the product. The only problem is it is a tad bit bigger than expected. I was able to fit the receiving end in me just fine, but my partner is not able to take the dick end in his vagina. He is much smaller than I am.
However, as the wearer, I find this to be an extremely empowering toy. When you wear it you can feel everything. I was actually able to get a hand/blow job with this in and was able to cum from the sensation. I love it! Some days I'll just wear it around this house to feel sexually empowered.
- Pros
- Internal sensation, texture.
- Cons
- Too big for my partner.
- Bottom line
- Great toy! Make sure you order the correct size for both users.

Absolutely lovely
Reviewed: 29 June 2014 by dxslove
Bought this partly to be more sensitive during strap on sex, and partly because I'd once seen it on my metamour and it looked really pretty and brilliant.
First impressions were that it's massive! We were both pretty intimidated by the size of it. Both ends are way bigger than anything we've used before, especially since the only other dildo we own is designed to be slim.
The bulb end fits inside me quite nicely, I'm not entirely sure whether it hits my G-spot perfectly but it gives a very satisfying full feeling and will no doubt be great for improving my Kegel muscles. I can't orgasm from vaginal stimulation alone, but fitting a wand on the clit gives vibrations to everything else as well which is lovely.
My partner says it was incredibly intimidating but once it was inside it is absolutely brilliant.
I would say it is most likely better suited for vaginal sex, but either way it definitely benefits from having a harness as well to keep it in place. For me, it does start to slip out otherwise. But the design coupled with the harness (boxers with a Y-front actually work too) give wonderful control and I feel so much better using it than a dildo I can't feel. It gives a better sense of connection and some great internal feedback.
- Pros
- Design, colour (purple) everything.
- Cons
- Very large, quite intimidating.
- Bottom line
- Brilliant!

George Odger
George Odger (1813-1877) was a pioneer British trade unionist and radical politician. He is best remembered as the head of the London Trades Council during the period of formation of the Trades Union Congress and as the first President of the First International.
Early years[edit]
George Odger was born in Roborough, Devon, and trained as a shoemaker. In his younger years, he was a Chartist.
After travelling in search of work, he settled in London and joined the Ladies Shoemakers' Society.[1] In 1859, he was a prominent supporter of the London builders' strike, and became a leading member of the London Trades Council when it was founded the following year.
Political career[edit]
In 1862, Odger became the Secretary of the London Trades Council, a post he held for ten years. Unlike most of its other office holders, he continued to work in his trade.
Also in 1862, Odger became the Chairman of the Manhood Suffrage and Vote by Ballot Association. In 1863, he convinced The Bee-Hive newspaper to switch from supporting the Confederates in the American Civil War. He also attended an Anglo-French labour meeting, which resulted in the establishment of the International Workingmen's Association in 1864. Odger became its first president.
Odger was associated with the Workman's Advocate, which became the press organ of the International and the Reform League, and from 1866–67 he was editor of the renamed Commonwealth. Also in 1866, he represented the London Trades Council at the first conferences the United Kingdom Alliance of Organised Trades, while in 1867, he joined the Conference of Amalgamated Trades.
Shortly after the Reform League's Hyde Park demonstration in 1867, Odger attended a private meeting of a dozen senior members of the League in which the French Revolutionary Gustave Paul Cluseret proposed they start a Civil War in England. According to John Bedford Leno, George Odger spoke out in support of Cluseret's proposal but this was misreported in the next days issue of The Times. George Odger was in the minority of the League, which rejected the proposal overwhelmingly.
Odger resigned from the International in 1871 after disagreements with Karl Marx over the latter's interpretation of the Paris Commune in his pamphlet The Civil War in France. Odger remained active in the Trades Union Congress (TUC), he was the Secretary of its Parliamentary Committee, the post later to become the General Secretary, from 1872 to 1873.
Odger also stood as a Lib–Lab candidate in Southwark in the 1870 by-election and the 1874 UK general election. He was invited to stand in the 1870 Southwark by-election, the first ever candidate to stand for Labour, by Francis William Soutter and Will Stafford. He also became a supporter of the Land and Labour League and was one of the more well-known figures in the short-lived republican movement of the late 1860s and early 1870s.
Death and legacy[edit]
Odger died on 4 March 1877. He was remembered at the time of his death as a "good, clear writer and a fluent speaker. He was not what is called 'eloquent,' but he was better; he spoke with force, with effect, with a knowledge of his subject."[2]
Henry James wrote of the funeral: "The element of the grotesque was very noticeable to me in the most marked collection of the shabbier English types that I had seen since I came to London. The occasion of my seeing them was the funeral of Mr. George Odger, which befell some four or five weeks before the Easter period. Mr. George Odger, it will perhaps be remembered, was an English Radical agitator of humble origin, who had distinguished himself by a perverse desire to get into Parliament. He exercised, I believe, the useful profession of a shoemaker, and he knocked in vain at the door that opens but to the refined. But he was a useful and honourable man, and his own people gave him an honourable burial."
George Odger is buried in Brompton Cemetery.
Odger is listed on the Reformers Memorial in Kensal Green Cemetery in London.
Odger Street on the John Burns' Latchmere Estate in Battersea is named after him.

Ruby Princess Cruise Review by Pamela*SF*BayArea: 1st Time Ruby, 1st Time CruiseCritic Group Member, 1st TA!

1st Time Ruby, 1st Time CruiseCritic Group Member, 1st TA!
Embarcation time of 5 minutes(!) from our arrival at Port Everglades aboard our Marriotts Springhill Suites free shuttle, thru "Processing" (keep moving please) to the moment we swiped our shiny new Sailing Cards as we boarded Ruby Princess. IMPRESSIVE! Went right to our stateroom - clean (we checked EVERYTHING), bright, balcony Cabin B631, Starboard, listed "midship" but just at 'Aft' (which may explain the unrelenting vibrations that persisted throughout the 2 weeks in OUR cabin, while others in Interior and midships had none) - Luggage arrived at cabin within 1 hour.
Armed with a ships 'maplet' we explored the lovely vessel we'll call "home" for the next 2 weeks!
The Piazza - spacious, lounge area you can enjoy from Decks 5, 6, 7 - resplendant with glittering brass, gold, and glass details, artwork and spiraling staircases - a pianist plays, there's dance & sushi exhibitions and pre or after-dinner dancing.
The 'International Cafe' (a must if you More
really like coffee) adjuts the Piazza -we loved their fresh pasta, seafood salads, quick sandwiches and French Patisserie style desserts all FREE but they charge for gelato! (The coffee card for $28 for 15 specialty coffee drinks was a BARGAIN! Makes up for 'concentrated coffee' served in Buffetts. Regular coffee is free)
After 4pm Muster Drill, we went up to Tradwinds Bar to personally meet the folks we'd been 'posting' with for months at the Cruise Critic Roll Call Boards. About 100 of us from all over the USA, Canada, and UK! We'd taken a vote online and named ourselves 'RUBY GEMS' - About 50 of us showed up in Red Ribbons for the informal "Drinkaway" that afternoon as we lifted anchor and began our transatlantic journey together! Later, we had formal Meet & Greet in Skywalkers Bar at Deck 18 where Captain Tony Yeomans and 5 of his Executive Staff surprised us "Ruby Gems" for about 45 minutes of chat, questions, experiences and photos!
The Upside of the Ruby Princess is definitely its crew. Ask a question - If crew did not know, they found someone who did. My complaint about 'tepid' hot tubs to GM Gunther was rectified within hours. However, the Customer Service desk, one person might know and another not. That should be rectified. ALL customer desk staff should know how to acquire stamps and mail a letter. Casino personnel was abrupt and less interested in helping. After the first night at Traditional Dining, we switched to Anytime to join some Ruby Gems friends - The level of service was really Exellent - Da Vinci restaurant was upbeat, lively and well run! Meats were well prepared but poultry, such as duck, seemed to suffer too much heat lamps. We'll continue Anytime dinners - it suits us. We dined every day in Horizon or Caribe for breakfast. We LOVED the smoked salmon, bagels and cream cheese! What a treat. However, staff is too exuberant about removing plates. Had to actually keep a hand on dishes to prevent removal while I chatted. The ship was constantly cleaned, fussed about, and maintained. You'll love the clean decks, railings, tables, sofas! The Ports were imaginative and fun - however, don't Tender into Monte Carlo in choppy seas, crew was not skilled at docking and folks got very ill. Less

Banking on his promise as an up-and-coming goal scorer, Kyle Palmieri and the Ducks agreed on a new three-year contract Friday.
Palmieri's deal is expected to be worth $4.4 million over the next three seasons and will carry a salary cap hit of $1.47 million. The winger was a restricted free agent but didn't have arbitration rights.
His contract will pay him $1.35 million in the upcoming season, $1.45 million in 2014-15 and $1.6 million in 2015-16.
Palmieri, 22, had 10 goals and 11 assists in 42 games last season, his first full season in the NHL. He also had three goals in the seven-game playoff series against Detroit, tying Emerson Etem and Nick Bonino for the team lead.
The native of Smithtown, N.Y., was recently invited to Team USA's Olympic orientation camp that will take place in late August. In 70 NHL games spread over three seasons, Palmieri has 15 goals, 14 assists and a plus-4 rating.
Locking up Palmieri checks off the last notable player the Ducks needed to sign outside of Teemu Selanne, whom they're still awaiting a decision on whether he wants to return or retire. The club has a little less than $4.4 million available under the cap, according to CapGeek.com.
The Ducks could be closing in on a new ECHL affiliate after they and the Fort Wayne Komets parted ways after a one-year association.
A Ducks spokesperson said an announcement should be expected in the coming days, perhaps as soon as next week.
One option could be Stockton, which the Edmonton Oilers left to team up with the Bakersfield Condors after a seven-year run with the city's Thunder hockey team.
Paul Kariya was recognized in the British Columbia Hall of Fame on Friday night. Kariya joined Mark Recchi, Marc Crawford, Colin Patterson, Nancy Wilson and the members of the 1994 and 1995 Kamloops Blazers of the Western Hockey League that won back-to-back Memorial Cups.
